And if I wrote that Free Mobile does not support LTE?
LTE 2600
I wrote that PLK-UL00 (one of the Chinese version of Honour 7) can not handle the LTE 2600.
(Of course, if those pages give real data).

Oups sorry, I missed the end of your sentence.

Free got over 5000 x LTE2600 cell towers and 27 LTE1800 (lol)
The chinese Honor 7 specs are not clear though .
I have TL01H dual sim (FDD 1800-2100) but my phone still use 4g from SFR (800-2600)...weird.

3G tri-band or quad-band

Title pretty much says it all. What's the real story on the the 3g frequencies? Nokia's site indicates it's quadband 3G, but yet many of the stores seem to indicate that it's tri-band for 3G. I would like to get one for use on ATT, but I definitely need 850MHz 3G since that is the predominant frequency in my area.
Anybody? What's the real answer on this?

This only adds to the confusion (No WCDMA 850)?
Thanks for the responses everyone. I think they just add to the confusion on what the real answer is, or Nokia is producing multiple models with different frequencies which I've seen referenced elsewhere.
I might just hold off for the 900 or wait until CES in January where they are supposed to make their big splash for the U.S. market. The render of the Lumia 900 that hit wmpoweruser today certainly looks nice if it's true. I wouldn't mind a slightly larger screen if it doesn't make the device too large. Some of the current phones border on mini-tablet size!
I know of two types of Lumia 800's and you can differentiate them via their FCC identification.
The European edition, FCC ID: LJPRM-801:
GSM/EGSM : 850/900/1800/1900
WCDMA : 900/1900/2100
The North American edition, FCC ID: ...RM-819:
GSM/EGSM : 850/900/1800/1900
WCDMA : 850/1900/2100
I really wish Nokia would fix the data on their web pages. I ran into this a few years ago with another phone I purchased from them where it was advertised as having U.S. bands when in fact it did not. Thanks for the info everyone.
Agree 100%. When i bought my phone, the lumia was advertised as:
WCDMA: 850/900/1900/2100
Many sellers have since correctly identified which bands the phone supports, but some still falsely advertise both 850 and 900 bands being on the phone.
When my Lumia 800 arrived and I could only get Edge/G service, I did some research and I was slightly disappointed. Luckily I work and live in a Wi-Fi zone, so that is my primary data connnection.

You too, huh? I was curious about Rogers. I find that 2G isn't the end of the world.. Only shortcoming are media rich sites, otherwise they still load up quickly for me.
The only thing I really would have missed on 3G is mapping and navigation, but the non-data GPS and preloaded map feature has completely eliminated that concern.
Rogers here in the 'Peg. I'm in love with it even though the primary service around my home is Edge/G. However, since I wrote that piece above, I grabbed the "Nokia Network Setup" application from the marketplace and now I can get 3G around my workplace.
Here is my situation at the moment. I'm currently in the US using At&t's network through straight talk. I purchased the Nokia Lumia 800 the UK version which is LJPRM-801. It clearly states that it supports WCDMA 900/1900/2100. Which I suppose are really meant for the UK or Europe. When I purchased the phone from the seller he clearly stated it was lock and he got it from Orange UK. Which I assume is locked as well. Surprisingly when I received the phone I inserted the Sim and it registered perfectly fine. I get voice AND data. I figured it may possibly be using the 1900 band for data. My main thoughts about this UK version is it may possibly have the 850 band included but not listed on the box for regulation concerns. How would I go about and truly testing it out if it does support 850 band?
You can't really, short of going to an area you know uses soley 850Mhz 3G, and not 1900 as well.
I dont see the reasoning behind manufacturing two different phones, My thoughts are they could have just disabled the band with a simple firmware. Has Anyone truly tested this? Any though on getting a different firmware version of the Lumia 800 on this UK version seeing if it would enable the 850 band.
Me too I purchased one from Clove.co.uk. On the box it stated 900/1900/2100 for 3G but I have 3G. Maybe I have a 1900Mhz station near my work. I will do more tests tonight.
Does an app exist to know the current band of 3G connection?
I've called Nokia while in Germany and they said that they only produced quad band Nokia lumia 800's

When you say quad band are you referring to 2g or 3g? because we know it's quadband 2g, but whether it's quadband 3g is the question.
So I have used it on 3 different locations here in Montreal on Rogers and I always got 3G. I don't know the band used by Rogers. I found several references but not definitive answer. I have the Lumia 800 Model 801.

So you have the lumia 800 which has quad band 3g? If possible could you please post a picture of the lumia 800 box listing the quad 3G bands?

I'm in Germany right now and don't have the box. I don't remember if it had the cell bands on the box. I know I got hspa on AT&T and I was happy.

Is the Alpha fully compatible with US AT&T?

It seems like the Samsung Galaxy Alpha has all the necessary bands to be used with AT&T in the US. But does anyone know for sure? If Samsung takes too long to release this in America can I buy the UK version and use it in the US?
Thanks

Bump. I have the same question.
GSM Arena says this about the device:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600
If what wikipedia says, AT&T uses the following frequencies:
2G: 850 / 1900.
3G: 850 / 1900.
4G: 700 block B (main frequency) / 1700 AWS / 1900 / 2300.
So, if I read correctly, you can use the international Alpha for 2&3G, but for LTE, you are covered only by one LTE band, 1900, and this being not a main frequency, won't have good coverage everywhere, I think.

So I'd get HSPA+ anywhere I'd get it from an AT&T phone, just not LTE necessarily?

Yes. If it was me to make the decision, I'd want my phone with an unlocked bootloader, HSPA+ is good enough speed for me.
Though, practically, I've never tested LTE in my life, until recently we didn't have any 4G networks.

I bought an unlocked international/Euro Galaxy Alpha SM-G850F at the London Samsung store... Installed my USA ATT SIM and have no prob w. calls or H or H+ data but can NOT get LTE band in the USA on either ATT or TMO even though the device seems to have the right bands for ATT or TMO LTE. On advice from an ATT Wireless store manager, I updated my APN settings to match ATT setup but still did not get LTE. FYI my H+ is quite fast for most purposes but I want LTE. Hope that answers your question.... Mine is how can I get LTE???

I am trying to solve this also.
I think that the Euro Version with the Exynos does not have the proper LTE Bands for North America LTE.
But the Qualcomm version does, though not sure about
TMobile.
I am looking at this from Canada GSM for $ 549. Factory Unlocked with following Bands:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G & LTE 2100, 1900, 1800, 1700, 2600, 700, 850
Obviously for AT&T you just buy theirs.
I have read that the EXYNOS versions do not function in North America on LTE.
With all phones it seems that you must be very very
Specific about Model Numbers including Suffixes etc.
Especially SAMSUNG loves to make 24 versions of ALPHA, 50 versions of S4 etc.
Frequency Bands are a real WTF for amateurs like me:
For example are there TWO DIFFERENT 1700 bands, one for4G LTE and one for 3G , HSPA + or are they the SAME BAND with dual usage ?
In example ABOVE the Alpha Factory Unlocked Canada GSM @$ 549.
IF used for TMobile the LTE Bands look fine, but the 3G
1700 Band is not there. Will 3G merely use the 1700 LTE
band or does the SOC ( QUALCOMM) need to have
allocated the 1700 band for dual usage LTE and.3G
?

[Q] H+/LTE not working

Hi fellows,
I have SM G-900T and I have an internet problem.
I can`t use my internet(data mobile) at all. This version being from USA, I use it in Europe(Romania).
Look at screenshot: http://sharemobile.ro/data/share/11008972_1620338411532587_716306529_n.jpg
Is any method to use at least H+? Please help me.
Thanks.
In Romania, only LTE Bands 3 (1800),7 (2600), and 20 (800) are supported.
Orange (LTE Band 3 and Band 7), Vodafone (LTE Band 3 and Band 20), and Telekom (LTE Band 3) all support Band 3, but may not have it in use in your area.
The 900T does support Band 3 and Band 7 in your region. So if your carrier is using 20, you are out of luck.
As for H+, only UMTS (WCDMA) Band 1 (2100) is supported by the 900T.
All the carries in Romania use UMTS (WCDMA) Band 1 (2100).
All but one (Telekom), also use Band 8 (900) as well, which is not supported by the 900T.

See my revised post.
It's possible you're in a region that is using one of the unsupported bands.
Band 8 (900) is preferred as it has better building penetration then Band 1 (2100).
Unfortunately if they are using Band 8, you will not be able to connect.
Also, did you verify you're using a good APN?
I don't speak the language, so I cannot find what APN Orange requires.
Thank you. Was from the apn. It works only 3G but is better.
3G is better than EDGE.

Honor 7 PLK-AL10 (Chinese version) LTE band supported

Dear all,
good afternoon.
I'm here to know if someone knows if it's possible to use my smartphone with band 7 LTE (2600) FDD. As far as I know this version only supports band 3 LTE (1800) but the European version has support for it. Right?
Do you know if putting the European ROM can solve this? Or there is a hardware limitation of the Chinese version?
Thanks guys, appreciate your help.
Take care,
Rui
2600MHz is supported by EU Honor7. It is conditioned by structure therefore you can't just replace the system of Chinese model with EU and have it.
I got the dual sim chinese Honor 7 and it supports FDD 1800-2100 .
I don't know why i can use 4g since my carrier uses 800-2600...

Which carrier? Available information shows that almost all providers cover 2600MHz LTE. Exception is Nextel, which runs on 1800MHz, which is supported by Chinese H7. And there is absolutely no information on LTE 800MHz in Brasil.

Then this is a totally new information. If you have the Chinese Honor 7 and LTE on SFR, it should indeed support either 800 or 2600MHz.
It's not recognizable from any known specifications though. And having been in Austria I can definitely confirm that my phone doesn't work on LTE 2600.

Bands of Honor 9 (Europe)

Hi, i'm about to buy the Honor 9, but I have a problem. I will buy it in Amazon (Europe) and ship it to my country (Argentina) that uses this bands:
2G (EDGE, GSM/GPRS): Bands 850 / 1900 MHz
3G (HSPA+, UMTS/WCDMA): Bands 850 / 1900 MHz
4G (LTE): Bands 4 (AWS o 1700) / 7 (2600) / 28 (APT o 700*)
(the most important band is the B4 AWS, the others are not that important)
And I searched on google and I found differences, some places say it has the b4 band(frequencycheck.com,phonedb.net), others say no (gsmarena)
Amazon says its the model 51091SNW, but assume is the STF-L09 version
So I need your help, if anyone of you has bought this phone in Europe and wants to confirm if it has the band that I need, I would be grateful. Otherwise, I'll have to choose another phone because a phone without 4g nowadays it's not good
Thanks in Advance!!!
I checked the price comparison I usually use and which is usually pretty well informed (this is their English page, the company behind it is originally from Austria):
Frequency bands: GSM (850/​900/​1800/​1900), UMTS (850/​900/​1900/​2100), LTE (B1/​B3/​B5/​B7/​B8/​B20)
https://skinflint.co.uk/a1638115.html
Same info from my go-to review site (translated from a German review):
Networking: 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (a/b/g/n/ac), Bluetooth 4.2, GSM 850/​900/​1800/​1900, UMTS B1/B2/B5/B8, LTE B1/B3/B5/B7/B8/B20, Dual SIM, LTE, GPS
https://www.notebookcheck.net/243422.0.html
Both is for the STF-L09, which is sold throughout Europe, so I guess it doesn't matter that both have their info from devices from Germany...
It seems to lack Band 4, and according to gsm arena it does so for all Honor 9 models available
